Barbie doll teenage pop singer, cynically marketed as a serious and mature soul artiste. Contrary to popular belief and marketing hype, not actually from the mean streets of Harlem or Detroit, but from the nice middle class suburb of Kent in England.
Not that you'd realise this from her songs or videos, which usually feature her in some massive New York loft apartment wailing about her boyfriend who is twice her age.
Another in a long line of teenage singers irresponsibly promoted as serious adults and mature idols to their teenage fanbase who ultimately will be committing mass suicide or downing truckloads of Prozac when they realise that life is not all groovy Soho lofts and laid back hippy chick love.

Average Person 1: Shouldn't Joss Stone in school right now?
Average Person 2: Nah, her record company are making a shitload of money out of passing her off as a soul singer.

Absolutely toooo cool. Not to mention the best hippie since Janis Joplin and the most down to earth person since Ghandi. Oh and she is the white Aretha Franklin.... not to mention she's only 17. Rock on
